Title: Ipad 2 question for current users Post by: craigbetts on August 15, 2011, 07:55:19 PM I have decided that this is now a must have item, although my question is..... is a 32 GB ipad 2 big enough?? Or do current users suggest 64 GB?
When I enquired at one stockist today they had no 64 GB ones, due to a low demand. One more daft question, do we need the 3G capability or do we feel there are enough wi-fi zones available to enjoy? (my main places of use will be home/work which both have wi-fi). Anyone with any views on this, I would be very appreciative.

Most apps baring some games are small so you have literally install hundreds on 16g. I have 1000's of photos on it and have never had to delete anything to make space. Unless you want to browse in transit i wouldnt bother with 3g. If i am ever bored with my ipad without wifi there is loads to do and read on them without the net.

Title: Re: Ipad 2 question for current users Post by: Tractor on August 15, 2011, 08:40:26 PM I have the 32gb, loads of room for me with photos/apps/music I have the iphone 4 and can tether to that for internet if there is no wifi and that works fine.
Best purchase in a long time for me. Title: Re: Ipad 2 question for current users Post by: Waz1892 on August 15, 2011, 09:52:18 PM considering one for my missus, but i don't "get them"
She already has - I-phone3GsI (or wotever its called) Kindle I-pod DVD player What else does she actually need that the I-pad does that those don't offer?! - Genuinely confused by it all (Upgarding the I-phone next month, but I hear the I-phone 5 is on its way?) Upgrading to Iphone 4 - worth it? Title: Re: Ipad 2 question for current users Post by: craigbetts on August 15, 2011, 11:02:58 PM Thx for the replies, defo have a better idea of what i need/want. The only downside is that I will have to get the 3G capability as I will be in the middle of nowhere come september for work. Simples 32GB it is.
I have not been this excited about a gadget/game since the original football manager on my commodore 64 hit the streets! I had to get up at 6am to play this as computer games were not allowed in my house after 9am on a weekend, the cassette took 20 minutes to load up and often crashed.... Great times! Kids these days eh....... pffft. Title: Re: Ipad 2 question for current users Post by: MC on August 15, 2011, 11:26:56 PM (Upgarding the I-phone next month, but I hear the I-phone 5 is on its way?)

Just seen this reference to DISC, I've been doing some work there recently and will be there regularly for a bit. oh and I just got roped into buying an iPad2 32gb with 3g by the wife and kids. Thanks to the regs at Broadway for funding it ;) Title: Re: Ipad 2 question for current users Post by: Marky147 on August 18, 2011, 11:22:20 PM Just seen this reference to DISC, I've been doing some work there recently and will be there regularly for a bit. oh and I just got roped into buying an iPad2 32gb with 3g by the wife and kids. Thanks to the regs at Broadway for funding it ;) I was there for a year back in 2002 at DSSS doing collection course and it was prob the best year I had in the forces. I played rugby so it was cheers easy for me, half day Mon, Wed and Friday. 8-4 Tues and Thursday :D I won a brand new iPod touch in a comp last night so I'm gonna flog that and put it towards one. I might just wait it out though and see what happens over the next month or so. They'll bring one out in October or something if I buy now and I'll be steaming!! Title: Re: Ipad 2 question for current users Post by: craigbetts on August 18, 2011, 11:30:41 PM Apparently no new iPad till 2012! If you think like that Marky, you will never purchase as you will always be waiting for the new improved model. Just ship one now, I never know how I coped pre ipad2!
